"Why are you doing this? Do you all really hate Carmichael that badly?"
This time it wasn't Ryder who answered, but Brett. And when she looked at him, she could swear that stars guttered out of his twinkling eyes.
"You're right. This isn't just about the money. We all have something against Carmichael.
This is our revenge."

An unknown man has offered Ryder Donahue and four of his team members 50 million marks to steal painting from billionaire Ronald Carmichael.
The only window of time available to steal it in, though, is at a gala, in three weeks, where it will be on display - the centerpiece of an art exhibition.
If they fail, all is lost. But if they succeed...it would be greater than they can imagine.

The Art of Breaking Hearts ✓
[Highest Rank; #3 in Humor 3/27/17] --- I was unable to keep myself from blushing. "I'm not his girlfriend." "Yet." Ryder and Benjamin said simultaneously. "Oh, so the conceitedness runs in the family?" I asked with a roll of my eyes. "I'm afraid so. Now, tell me more about yourself." "Well, I like playing soccer a lot. And if I were to choose between my books and human beings, then I choose books. Also, I think your brother is annoying and has too big of an ego. But wanna know something?" He nodded. I stopped the car at the traffic light and turned back to him. Leaning into his ear, I whispered loud enough for Ryder to hear, "I think I like him." --- The art of breaking hearts is an inscrutable, prepossessing, abstract art. Never ever will you go through with breaking someone's heart without having your own broken. And it would be very eccentric if one did not go through the process of having their own heart shattered into millions of pieces when trying to do the same to another. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way. --- [extended description inside] Copyright ©2016 sadreadingchick All rights reserved.Complete
The Ledger Heist
In the heart of New York City, a crew of audacious thieves pulls off the unthinkable: stealing a priceless Leonardo da Vinci painting from one of the world's most prestigious museums. But this is no ordinary heist. Blair, the mastermind, is driven not by greed but by a desire to expose a web of corruption stretching from the museum board to international networks of illicit art trading. Joined by a diverse team-Miles, the impulsive charmer; Thomas, meticulous and haunted by past failures; Kyle, protective to a fault; Maeve, the persuasive public face; and Anastasia, a reluctant insider torn between loyalty and conscience-they execute a plan that is as theatrical as it is dangerous. Along the way, they navigate moral ambiguity, personal stakes, and the relentless pursuit of Interpol, led by the sharp, calculating Elena Voss. From glittering gala nights to clandestine rendezvous in Manhattan's shadows, the crew exposes not only the museum's hidden dealings but also the fragility of trust, the complexity of loyalty, and the price of seeking justice outside the law. Arrests, betrayals, and high-stakes interrogations push each member to confront their deepest fears, ethical boundaries, and the bonds that tie them together. Even behind bars, the story is far from over. A hidden ledger, encrypted evidence, and carefully orchestrated plans ensure that the truth survives-revealing a shocking twist: the corruption runs deeper than anyone imagined, implicating a high-ranking Interpol liaison who tried to bury the investigation. The Ledger Heist is a thrilling, morally complex tale of art, crime, and courage-a story where victory comes at a cost, justice is never simple, and the real picture is always more than what meets the eye.Complete
